Schiit Loki Mini+ 4-Band Tone Control Equalizer (Black)

I've been into hifi since the mid sixties and my first headphone was the Koss pro4/aa in the seventies. I have purchased a whole lot of equipment throughout the years and i can honestly say that this little tool is the best thing to ever happen for headphones. My current setup consists of Fostex th900 mk2 ,original v-moda m 100,1 more triple driver over ear phones with ifi black label dac/headphone amp and mainly listening to tidal from my laptop. It produces magnificent sound. You can custom tailor the sound, adjust anything. It turns the fostex into an absolute beast, actually can tighten up the bass and make it more powerful. It slams hard now. Any bass heads will want this for sure. Its also great with the 1 more triple driver, but the best combo was with the v-moda m100. It turns them into one of the all time great pairings. It produces no distortion or signal loss and opens up any headphone. Everything is much bigger and more powerful. It really is the best thing for headphones. Once you hook this up you will never go back. I also hooked the loki to a very old smsl headphone amp and while it sounded great, it was not as great as the pairing with the ifi black label. If anybody has an ifi amp with the 3d excite swith on it you definitely want this. It takes you to a different world. I truly believe i am more impressed with this device than any audio device that i have ever heard. This is my first Schiit product although i have been following them a long time so next time i need something i will surely at them first .Great job Schiit

Just got this unit. I am not an audiophile so love the ability to manage the sound to my liking. Using this mainly to cut the mids and add lower end and crisp highs. Was debating this unit vs the higher end unit with more freq control, but this one seems to be enough

Great quality. Gets hot but not to the extreme. Love the product. My vinyls finally sound like the 21 century

There are better equalizer out there, but not for this price

Just installed it and put it to the test with two of my most challenging CD’s. It works. Definitely satisfied.

I added a small amp to my PC to drive a pair of bookshelf speakers and 12" powered subwoofer, but needed a effective way to control the amount bass. Without this EQ, the bass was heavy. After adding it, I was able to soften the subwoofer and tune the treble. Everything sounds just the way I like it now. My only complaint is the power toggle is located on the back which is difficult to reach in my setup.

This EQ unit gave us the ability to adjust the sound from our TV to the stereo to add a little treble to our overly warm speakers. The sound quality is fantastic; there's no discernible noise or hiss even if I crank up the amp and search for it. Made in the US is a nice aspect as well. However, even when you aren't using this little equalizer, it radiates heat constantly. Even when the source and the amp are off, this thing is hot. This seems like a big down side. The only way to stop it from cranking out heat is to turn the power off. But, the power switch is on the back. What a pain in the butt. I don't want to have to climb around behind this stupid thing every time I turn the TV on or off, to flip a switch. And, I equally do not want to leave it on cranking out heat 24/7. This is totally unacceptable. It doesn't go to sleep, it doesn't have a standby mode with lower power consumption, you can't reach the power switch, and it doesn't have a 12V trigger input for having the amp or the TV turn it on and off. I regret buying it, but I don't see any great alternatives so I'll keep this stupid thing and cross my fingers that it doesn't cause a fire while we're away at work.

First, the most important thing is sound - how does it perform? It performs "Ok", meaning there's a low noise floor and it seems to do the job of +/- 12db attenuation across the frequency bands. Is it worth the price? Let's go to the build. This feels, and operates "cheap" - not what you'd expect from a company that boasts about being "Made in the USA". I had to return my first order because the rightmost knob was basically stuck, rubbing against the plastic frame. At this price I'd expect some quality control because as far as being "cheap" for the money, it's not worth the price, the price is way more expensive than the build. Finally, talking about price I find it odd that I have to pay $40 USD more buying it from Amazon vs. buying directly from Schiit's website. That's just not right, and the seller was SchiitAudio so I'd imagine this is directly from Schiit but they're overcharging you on Amazon.
